Gary,
Have you had to change out the 'o-rings' that seal the can for bigger ones? I got my leak fixed. It was coming from between the can and the base. I thought I had the clamp on tight enough...... Maybe that is a good question to ask: How tight does the clamp need to be?
I just installed larger, round o-rings and it is fine so far. Of course the original gaskets didn't leak until after the first 2,k or 2,500 miles. This was a new install with new units. Both of them were leaking and both gaskets seemed soft and pliable. Neither one had any nicks or gouges either.......? Since the oil travels down the 'cartridge' to the bottom of the can, I would think there wasn't much pressure there on the gasket. The restrictor orfrice was on the inlet at the center of the base; wasn't it?
Any other ideas you have about this would be appreciated. I have even theorized that the vibration of the motor could be too much for them (They are mounted to a bracket that holds them above the exhaust manifold). I just can't figure why they would leak like that.........
Dan
